Setup for AutoCAD 12 and 13 with WINDOWS 95 on a Network                                
                                                           
A. Setup the Driver in Windows 95: 
   (Upper case characters are used to highlight commands and prompts).

   1.  From the Windows 95 START menu select SETTINGS. From the SETTINGS 
       submenu select PRINTERS

   2.  Double click the Printer Icon

       Note: For most of the Raster Products you can install either a 
            907/Vector driver or a CCRF/Raster driver. The 907 Windows 
            driver is limited in capability. Since you will be using the 
            AutoCAD ADI driver it may be better to install the CCRF driver 
            for other Windows applications. Specifically, the 907 driver 
            does not support TrueType fonts or Raster/Bitmap type images.
            The CCRF driver does.

   3.  From the FILE menu select PROPERTIES...

   4.  From the  PROPERTIES dialog click on the DETAILS tab.

   5.  Click on the CAPTURE PRINTER PORT button.

   6.  For DEVICE, select the Port that AutoCAD will be printing to
       (as a file).

   7.  For PATH, type in the Network path where you want the file to be 
       sent.
 
      * For Microsoft network this will be: 

        \\\
        
        Example: If you want AutoCAD to print to LPT2 and Windows 95 to 
                 print to a Windows 95 computer named "Mike'sPC", and 
                 the shared printer name is "Mike's Plotter", then it 
                 would appear as LPT2: (\\Mike'sPC\Mike's Plotter)

      * For Novell this would be: 

        \\\

        Example:  If you want AutoCAD to print to LPT3 and Windows 95 to 
                  print to a Novell server named "P_SERVE" and the 
                  plotter queue is "CalComp_Plot" then it would appear as 
                  LPT3: (\\P_SERVE\CALCOMP_PLOT)

   8.  Make sure that the RECONNECT AT LOGON check box is checked.

   9.  Click the OK button. If the change does not appear in the 
       "PRINT TO THE FOLLOWING PORT:" field then pop down the menu and 
       select the new "port" from the menu.

   10. Check the Apply button in the lower right of the dialog box. 
       If it is not greyed out then click on the button until it is. 
       Click on the Port settings... button. Make sure that the 
       SPOOL MS DOS PRINT JOBS and CHECK PORT BEFORE PRINTING check 
       boxes are both checked.

B. Setup AutoCAD 12 or 13 per the following instructions:  
   (upper case characters used to highlight commands and prompts).

   	- From the AutoCAD Command Line type:  CONFIG

	- At the Configuration Menu choose:  CONFIGURE OPERATING PARAMETERS

	- At Operating parameters, choose: DEFAULT PLOT FILE NAME (option #3)
    
	- At this option (#3), enter the appropriate port. 
       		(NOTE: AutoCAD will recognize any port that is configured).

   	- Exit to the "CONFIGURATION MENU"

	- At the "Configuration Menu" choose: CONFIGURE PLOTTER (option #5)

	- At the "Plotter Configuration" menu choose the following:   
       ADD A PLOTTER CONFIGURATION

	- From "AVAILABLE PLOTTERS", choose the appropriate CalComp model 
       driver 

	- Select Y for YES to the prompt:  DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE ANYTHING?
       All other selections, choose the defaults.
      
	- Select Yes to the prompt: "WRITE THE PLOT TO A FILE?" 
       Choose the defaults at all other prompts.

	- Exit to the "CONFIGURATION MENU"

	- Exit to the "DRAWING EDITOR"

	- Choose YES at the "KEEP CONFIGURATION CHANGES?" prompt

   The above procedure sets AutoCAD to plot to a file by the name of a 
   port which prevents a conflict between AutoCAD and Windows 95 over 
   which "owns" that hardware port.

C. You are now finished.  AutoCAD's ADI drivers for AutoCAD for Windows 
   basically act as DOS drivers since they are specific to AutoCAD. What 
   you have done is make AutoCAD plot to a file by a port name. 
   
   In Windows 95, you have set up a driver to capture this output from 
   AutoCAD, where it will be spooled in Windows 95 and routed over the 
   network to the appropriate destination.  The Windows 95 driver is not
   generating any data it is simply acting as a spooler/network connector 
   for AutoCAD. The Windows 95 driver will also work for other Windows 
   applications that are using the Windows driver when configured this 
   way.
